THE NEW YORK STRIKE.
Business Paralyzed on the River Front
No Change i'm the Condition of Affairs.

New YORK, February THE river
fronts and neighboring streets still pre-
sented a Sunday appearance this morn
ing. There was no change in the condi-
tion of affairs. Monday is usually the
busiest day of the week at the docks, but
there was no blockade of the Belt line
street cars to-day, not more than one
fourth the usual number OF trucks which
usually block and choke South and west
streets being out Most of the piers were
open to receive freight, but little came as
compared with the ante-strike times.
The prospect of settlement of the diff
ficulties between the 'lOngshoremen and
steamship companies and freight hand
lers and railway companies is remote;
each side being confident of coming out
of the trouble a victor. Both sides prom
ise remarkable developments this week,
but are dark about their nature.
On the CLYDE Line docks, East river,
the Clyde sailed some hours later than her
schedule time, but carried full cargo
and her quota of passengers. The green
freight handlers were set to work clean
ing up the dock to keep them employed
till another steamer arrived. The SEMI
mole. of this line, also carried full cargo
and her quota of passengers. The sign,
100 men wanted, 30 cents per hour is
no longer displayed here, and the super
intendent declared that he was getting
along very well. The Lampassas is dis
charging, the new men doing the work
She will sail Wednesday.
Men who apply for work at the Mallory
Line dock are being turned away by the
hundred. Another steamer is expected
to-day, and there are plenty of men ready
to work on her The Ward Line dock is
clear of freight and deserted, save for a
solitary officer and the watchman. Two
boats are expected today or tomorrow,
and then the company will have plenty
of help to discharge their cargoes. At
the Continental Line dock plenty OF
freight was being delivered, and the whole
bulkhead was lined with trucks. Ihe
New Haven Freight Line and the Hart
ford Line were doing more business than
on Saturday, also.

BosToY, February THE employees
of the South Boston horse railroad at
meeting which lasted until 3 O'Clock this
morning. voted unanimously to tie up the
road to-day, and in pursuance of this vote
no cars were taken out this morning
This is one of the largest horse railroads
in the city The men are opposed to the
present uperintendent, and want ten
hours work of a twelve hour day. The
difficulty seems to be chiefly in making
out timetables. The company claims
that it is impossible to arrange them so as
TO give ten hours inside of twelve and
proper time for meals.

REVIEW.

New YORK. February Prices opened
rather firmer. though foreign markets were
not appreciatey higher The general tone
here has been firm and prices are generally
bette, but there has not been any great
volume of business, and while the mar ket
has not been weak, it has lacked the enthu-
siasm of Saturday last. Further reports OF
strikes caused halt and impeded specula-
ton. and we may have some reaction after
the recent advance. Room traders have been
the chief sellers to-day, and have taken ad-
vantage OF the dull period to scalp prices as
usual. Some decline would not be out OF
place. but we are inclined to be in favor of
higher prices in the near future. Duringthe
last hour the market sold off somewhat but
closed at a recovery and with better tone.

In the Hastings Court yesterday morn
ing Commonwealth Attorney witt
moved for a rule against W. i. Royal,
to show cause why he should not be pun
ished for contempt Of court in suing the
grand jury which indicted him for bar
ratry.
Mr.. Royal was present at the time, and
opposed the motion on the ground that
in republic like ours any citizen has
right, whenever he feels himself ag-
grieved, to resort TO any tribunal OF
Justice having jurisdiction Of the parties
and the subject to assert that grievance
10 have Justice done him if he can main
tain his plea according to the law of the
land: that under this Government there
are no privileged persons; that every
man acts in subordinatiOn to the law and
upon his responsibilities before the law
which he is bound to know and OF which
he cannot plead ignorance. Any citizen
may assert his grievance in court against
anv person, from the President OF the
United States down to the humblest
citizen.
His second ground of objection was
that the act defining barratry, under
which he was indicted, was an act repug-
nant to the Constitution Of the United
States. and was therefore void; that 1t IS
nonsense to say, as that act says, that the
State of Virginia might force law suit
upon a man and then deprive him Of the
aid of a lawyer to conduct it; that when
she agreed that her coupons might be re-
ceived for taxes she necessarily made
further agreement that if she forced him
10 have a law suit with her in order to
make use Of this coupon he might have
aid and advice to conduct that SUIT.
Then if the statute Is repugnant 10 the
Constitution Of the United States the
court that undertakes to enforce 1t Is
without jurisdiction. 1t is not case OF
court erring in judgment, but OF
court that has no power. 1t is the same
thing as Judge Lynch's court. The
Judge, grand jury, the sergeant, prosecu'
ting officer, the clerk, all constitute sim
ply mob,
Mr.. Royal cited quotations from va
rious authorities to prove his points.
Judge Atkins took the matter under
consideration. and will render a decision
to-day at II o'clock.

Germany and the Vatican.

BERLIN. February 7.-Dr Windthorst,
the leader of the Centre Catholic party
in the German Reichstag, in political
address delivered in Cologne yesterday
took the position Of opposition to the
Popes recent y expressed wish that the
Centre party adopt the policy OF concilia-
ton on the septennate bill IN order 10
enable the Pope to meet the views OF
Prince Bismarck and secure the improve
ment in the position of the Papacy.
DR.. Windthorst said that the Popes
advocacy of the septennate bill was inde-
nendent of the merits of the measure,
and arose from reasons Of expediency
and from political considerations. II II
had been possible to comply with the
wishes OF His Holiness, DR.. Windthorst
said. the Centre party would have done
so but nobody could accomplish 1t. 1t
was impossible The Pope would not be
displeased with his faithful sons in
Germany for their refusal to comply with
his political wishes when he had closely

After the grand jury had found indict-
ments against various parties for mlsde-

HQstiags C0UIt:
The grand Jurors for the February term,
/ 1887. respectfully represent to your
Honor that in the discharge Of their du-
ties and after they had been properly
sworn, there was presented and sent TO
/ them an indictment charging one William

laws of this State, known as barratry.
They would represent that there was
sufficient evidence before them to justify
bringing in true bill against said
RoyaIl for the alleged ofTense, but they
respectfully decline to bring IN sald true
bill, because
/. They are informed that the previous
special grand jury have been sued IN the
Circuit Court of the United states Tor

ares for bringing in similar Indictment
against said Royal.

newspapers of this city that he would
bring suit against all other grand jurors
who dared to indict him.

submit that they ought not TO bring IN

I'd ever set eyes on. It was about feet

git that yet And, by gosh, he did. The
next time took look at him he was
a-hauling in on the kite line, with smile
on his face as broad as a furrer. When the
kite came down near the ground ] saw
what he was spilin' ut, an it was enough to
make body smile, too Any you fellers

None OF the drummers wanted to guess,
